ECTS: Ocean Bringing Back Gauntlet

Share.

Ocean/Infogrames is set to acquire the Gauntlet name for its isometriccombat adventure currently called Hexplore

By IGN Staff

Hexplore, soon to be renamed Gauntlet, allows players to control four characters in a hybrid world of historical fact and fantasy fiction. The release target is currently the first quarter of this year.

Just in time for the holiday season, Ocean will be launching its PlayStation racer V-Rally in the US. It should get a great deal of attention having swept the games sales charts in many European countries. It's currently number one in the UK, outselling all other games.

But the game Ocean wants to talk about most is space-shooting adventure I-War. Detailed graphics in a 360 degree world suggest another hit.

Another title to watch out for is Lucky Luke, a weird cartoon platformer . The game has been coded by the French part of this Euro-partnership Infogrames.
